and from the Not What We Were Hoping For department

This weekend saw the Monaco Grand Prix, the high point - stylistically speaking - of the Formula 1 season. George Lucas and some of his recent directees were present, and two of the cars - from Red Bull Racing, nee Jaguar, nee Stewart - were reliveried as Star Wars cars complete with laser burns, etc. on the, er, hulls.

Neither car finished the race. More embarassingly, what is normally a high-attrition race (due to the very tight nature of the course, which tends not to forgive mistakes) had an high proportion of finishers (14 of 18 starters) this year.
